Is there a way to get the XY cordinates of a pixel based on the array index using numpy/gdal?

I have a new set of extents for a raster and, based on these newer extents, want to determine the centroid of the raster (polygon). Wondering if there are any functions which can return the coordinate values based on the pixel indices.

But knowing that the header of the image contains the bounding coordinates and projection information, you could calculate them yourself (not recommended unless you enjoy learning things the hard way).
EX:
I knew my pixel size was 30m. For point 3,4 from the origin it's simple algebra: 3x30 +/- Origin's X, 4x30 +/- Origin's Y
Caveats:

assumes you're nowhere near zone boundaries

not very accurate beyond locating the right pixel

remember to deal with negative coordinates properly (the +/- in the example)
